Building Civilizations on Primitive Planets
39. Compiling Strength
1 Month on the new planet, September 18, 2022
Alamut held a 1 month festival of the arrival of Zayn and Udin to the islands which is commemorated as the birthday of Alamut for a day and full of food. 5 days have passed since our last story. Sulphur mine has been operating for 2 days and this morning the first mine was transported by horsemen whose number is only 20 units of horses which are temporarily used as load horse transport from the mountain which was then named the origin by Udin as Ijen Crater.
The day after the reception ceremony, exactly 4 days ago, finally the Malena family took the option to be under the power gathered Johnny in the future who while also got the citizenship of Alamut. On the same day a series of crown princes Juki of Faranina set out for Ferris Indah to offer an alliance. And a day later Johnny, who has been able to accept the situation, sets out on a cruise with Valhalla and 7 Samiam soldiers to Faranina to intertwine King Humabon Juki's father. There is no need to tell the details because Johnny only spoke a few words and still did not talk to Zayn at all. Johnny's release ceremony was very lively because it coincided with the first delivery of 111 sulfur mining workers to Ijen Crater and the delivery of 10 spies to Kebon Gede who were disguised as merchants using type merchant vessels B.
In addition, in the ceremony was also carried out off the voyage of the archpriest Hulagu and Jumanji with a type A merchant ship to the continent accompanied by 13 people and brought gold bullion produced by the mine at Timbuktu Hill each 100 kilograms of gold from the Alamut tax ration for 2 kingdoms, North and South Sugar.
The spies were revealed to each of 1 person in Sumberurip, Kalikucing, Gunungmacan, Jayagelang, Tampaksirih and the remaining 5 people in Kebon Gede along with the citizens of Alamut celebrating 1 month of Alamut.
The spy agencies in each city had five thousand gold coins with forged Suleka coin prints and each was assigned to buy a safe house in an area far from military observation in each the city. 6 people will operate a network of pigeons post. The remaining 4 people will pander from Kebon Gede to those cities for the circulation of pigeons back post and trade.
Then the trip to Ijen Crater was escorted by 40 people who joined with 20 horses where Jayadi led and Udin who departed also rode horses. Walking trip as well as opening the road to the top of Ijen Crater takes a day and overnight more than 24 hours drive with a distance of only about 41 km from Alamut.
After the road was opened the first team finally traveled from Alamut to the top of Ijen Crater only takes 9 hours of walking and 2 hours of riding.
This morning 20 cavalrymen carrying the first sulfur mines began to enter Alamut including Udin and Jayadi.20 martial artsmen were left in the mine area to guard and lead the workers. 2 Days once the horsemen are scheduled to take the mine. A day departs from Alamut, the next comes back and so on.
People in Alamut wonder why this country mines sulfur so aggressively. The use of sulfur in the Islands although the price is expensive but the use is very minimal, because Sulfur is generally only used as a medicine and a mixture of ingredients for bathing the rich. Sulfur in the islands is usually obtained on land salt mining.
But the confusion will be answered two days later, on the morning the horsemen returned again from Ijen Crater carrying sulfur.
Alamut launches several new weapons. The first and second cannons were finally unveiled on September 20, 2022. This cannon is made of Bronze material. Udin postponed the manufacture of iron cannons considering that the refinement of steel metallurgy technology could not be done. The principle today is quantity and effectiveness.
“Our beloved citizens of Alamut introduce our flagship new weapon in our language called Cannon or Cannon. Thank you for the outstanding achievements of Mr. Jumanji's craftsmen. They are able to produce cannons that are longer than our size here with the size according to our way is 2 meters long and look at the incredible details.. carving a tiger in the holder of a small supporting car made of hard iron wood. Supreme Court Justice Giman and Ms Waljinah please recite the prayers encrusted on these two cannons, come here.” Zayn said using a loudspeaker in front of a group of people who were in Alamut.
“God strengthen us. Confuse our enemies. Help us beat them. Only to you we ask,” said Giman reciting a prayer that was encrusted in the first cannon.
“God fucked up politics between them. Unloading his cunning plan of deceit. Upon you we beg. Save Alamut,” read Waljinah to both of them.
“Amiiin,” shouted Udin which everyone followed. “For all those who think leader Alamut is crazy for telling you to desperately work more than any job in the archipelago and do what is considered ridiculous mining the dung of bats and seabirds, and spend energy and time mining sulfur on the top of the mountain with a large amount rather than scavenging it a little amount in the salt that is mined. Then look at the new weapons protector of this country works,” said Udin.
“We will rotate the cannon towards the backstage.nun far there is a hill where our people daily mine the stone used every day to strengthen the palace walls and limit the city. They have been ordered not to leave the hill before the weapons tests are carried out," Udin said.
“In the stretch to the hill we have prepared 8 Targets of shooting. Prepare first target.” Udin's orders to the cavalry who immediately erected a sturdy wooden wall that had been prepared at a distance of 2 km.
Now it's Zayn's turn to talk, ”the first shot will fire a round bullet, the point is to penetrate the door of the fortress and if at sea can destroy the hull of the enemy ship to sink. The effective distance is 2.4 km standard Alamut measurement and the target in front of us put at a distance of 2 km.”
“Prepare the elevation to get a distance of 2km. Put the bullet in and get the lighter ready. Shoot, duaar,” an ear-shattering sound was heard from two cannons that immediately sent bullets hitting the target giving a thunderous thumping effect that was heard up to the rock quarry hill where the workers continued to work.
“Riding forces prepare the next target at the same distance and bring the target who was shot with a cart here after,” Udin turn to give orders.
After the target was set up, Udin gave a warning, now the target is a thicker and layered wall.
“Open furnace, prepare bullets and lighters, shoot, door,” this time the target is burned after being hit by a hot bullet bang.
Udin actually wanted to prepare the Carcass bullets, but the explosives stuffing to burn the target could not be obtained all of them now, so he thinks it is quite functional by way of red hot shot with round bullets of heated iron smoldering.
“Soldiers set up target to 3 at a distance of 350 meters,” Udin command. After the soldiers brought back the burning target and set up the target in the form of a 25-meter-wide long plank wall, Udin again gave a warning, “Retracting elevation, prepare canister bullets and lighters, shoot, fire, door,” targets were hollowed out on many sides as small round iron bullets fired from bullets spread out and sped towards the target after the canister split in mid-air due to the momentum of the shot.
“The soldier set up the target to 4 at a distance of 180 meters,” now Zayn gave orders for soldiers to erect wooden sticks arranged as if as a wall. “Atur elevation. Prepare wine bullets and lighters, gunkk, doorrr,” bullets slid into the target and damage the weight of the stacking until finally the target collapsed.
“The soldier set up the target to 5 at a distance of 50 meters,” Udin again gave the command and target in the form of a screen pole and a strange rope arranged tilted towards the front of the screen installed with a peg. “Return elevation, prepare chain bullets and lighters, shoot, dooorrr, screen bruakkk mess and rope temali uprooted from the peg.
“How is it still astonished at the power of the Alamut cannon? Do not disperse first we still have some surprises,” said Udin while opening the black cloth that covers two strange objects. “Introduce Hwacha capable of firing 200 spears as far as 100 meters and can reach 150 meters with a special arrow,” said Zayn.
“Ok now we get to the third surprise, introduce at once directly some weapons arquebus, musket, cetbang, chu ko nu and slag. This time we did not show the public its use. In 5 days some selected soldiers will test and practice using this weapon in the area between Timbuktu and Ijen Crater. Now enjoy the lunch that has been provided by the public kitchen and served specifically for this event. Next you can take a closer look at the weapons that we are showing today and the target of the shot. Hail Alamut,” said Zayn closing weapons test.
Jumanji craftsmen in 7 days were able to make 1 fire furnace, 2 cannons and 4 types of bullets each 10 pieces of bullets, 2 pieces of hwacha, 2 pieces, 2 Cetbangs and 5 pieces of chu ko nu each, arquebus, musket and slag with 300 lead bullets. When the war broke out it was expected that the number had already increased.
In the afternoon in the city of Ajojing, the capital of Ferris Indah on the same day Alamut conducted a weapons test.
Crown Prince Juki has been waiting in the throne room for the arrival of King Lamet the ruler of Ferris Indah who will soon arrive at the throne from his room.
Seeing the king enter the throne room, Juki immediately knelt in reverence. “Arise crown prince from my brother's country,” said King Lamet.
“Honor to the noble king Lamet who reigned in Ferris Indah,” said Juki.
“What did you do to meet me. I heard that at last the Suleka kingdom in the north we also broke off relations with your country (Faranina). What is the cause of them acting arrogant and arrogant to the two kingdoms that were once as Fantastica once ruled them,” said king Lamet complained.
“So the servant as the next successor of the throne of Faranina has established cooperation with those who made all this happen. Fantastica we have established again and with the arrival of the servant intends to invite Ferris Indah alliance in it,” said Juki who then cut Lamet, “you mean?”
“King Lamet, Suleka shut down from Ferris Indah because you are considered to accommodate fugitives who are related to the rebellion there,” he said which was then cut again by Lamet. “Oh because Karsimin escaped here apparently. I take it here, so-so he's still my nephew. She is the daughter of my cousin and her husband. For the sake of family pride whatever he does will be supported by Ferris Indah. And according to his own admission he was not involved in the rebellion you mentioned earlier. Then now explain the reasons that made them close themselves from Faranina.”
“That's what we mean. The Alamut-backed 2 continental kingdoms seized a bit of Suleka territory and supported prince Johnny the youngest son of King Siffredi to take over the throne. Seeing good potential, I as Faranina's successor decided to join Alamut to form the new Fantastica. And now in front of you I invite you to join,” he said firmly.
“Hahaha what is the advantage for Ferris Indah if you join,” Lamet said suddenly laughing.
“Ferris Indah will get all the islands belonging to Suleka except Grand Papalepap and small islands at the mouth of the Kalideres River,” replied Juki.
“Attractive offer. But sorry the last time the continent interfered in politics in the archipelago was to establish Nobuhara which then messed up a lot of things in the archipelago. And the party that now reigns in Nobuhara itself is actually just like a thorn that hurts them the rulers of the continent and is thrown for a craze in the archipelago. Nothing really special. It's just that Fantastica who used to be unprepared and especially we fought because of the seizure of the throne and finally split into Faranina and Ferris Indah,” Lamet said.
NB: Fantastica disbanded to 2 when the brother of the late king who was supposed to ascend the throne instead of the king who later died lost news after a long adventure to the continent. When the crown prince ascended the throne, the late king's brother came home and collected the throne that should have belonged to him and eventually unconstitutionally established Ferris Indah in the east. The crown prince then reigned at Faranina. The two kingdoms had fought a 10-year war before finally making peace in a complicated alliance.
“For me Fantastica is yes the alliance of our two kingdoms that have been established want to be named Fantastica or not and there is a single leader or no problem. It's illegal for us at Ferris Indah if outsiders are part of Fantastica's leadership. So I have no interest in joining you. Greet me with the ruler of Alamut. My message to you is not to dissolve the alliance between our two kingdoms even though you have allied with other powers on behalf of Faranina,” Lamet said.
“After your request I refuse, what are your next plans here crown prince. Do not rush back spend your money to shop and have fun here,” Lamet said.
“Of course the king, I will shop for slaves for Alamut and I hope you give me a discount to add to my profits,” jeloroh Juki which then Lamet answered with a laugh, “hahaha quiet, all can be arranged.”
On the other hand Johnny is most likely new the next day docked in the Final Fantasy town of the capital Faranina. While Jumanji and Giman still need almost 2 more weeks to land on the continent.
Meanwhile, Kebon Gede
As Alamut commemorates the 1st month of its establishment, Suleka is preparing a major attack on Alamut. They have been informed 5 days ago from 5 Danny soldiers who survived and could fight to reach Sumberurip via the forbidden forest about the condition of Alamut, he said, the number of ships and the involvement of Faranina and prince Johnny when viewed from his ship.
The palace moved quickly by confiscating Johnny's assets and auditing and investigating foreign ministry officials.
The Navy immediately sent instructions to all bases, so that Dozens of warships came and went alternately at the mouth of Kalideres where the Suleka Naval Headquarters was located. Suleka previously had 60 warships and had lost 12 warships in the rebellion.
A spy ship belonging to Alamut stationed at Kebon Gede unexpectedly gets an order to mobilize Army soldiers to Sumberurip.
Suleka deployed 36 warships to attack Alamut which they estimated had 18 ships of various types. From the agent's conversation with the Army's order is known that the Navy will attack from the east and west. The attack from the east had departed 2 days ago with 20 chartered Type A merchant ships to transport Army troops to the beaches which were about the size of 10 incense sticks a foot trip from the estuary tabuan Lasi River. While from the west will sail tomorrow morning and will arrive at about 10 incense before the estuary. Once the Army is demoted, the rental ship will be asked to wait for the next order at Sumberurip and Tegalwangi.
Agent Kebon Gede was lucky to get this information because in the last seconds of the attack, the, it turned out that the Army was still running out of leased type A merchant ships in Kebon Gede and began renting smaller type B merchant ships. Luckily the spies got an order to transport 30 soldiers of the Suleka Army.
It is expected that the Suleka forces will consolidate in Sumberurip and Tegalwangi on September 22 and will attack Alamut on September 23 or 4 more days.
Got valuable information the agent immediately used the first pigeon network gift post from Prince Juki to Alamut which they had not had time to use before to send valuable information.
